Meizu has recently sent out an invitation letter to media agencies to officially announce its new sub brand Lipro, which will focus on smart home products. The invitation is for the conference on 5th January 2021.

According to a TechSina report, the invitation letter carried an acrylic board and paper invitation card. The name of the brand ‘Lipro’ was hollowed out on to the board. The invitation letter itself carried the word ‘welcome’ in Chinese, which is likely to introduce the new sub brand as well. ‘Inspired by J. Wong’ the founder of the Chinese tech giant can be seen etched on the back of this letter a well.

With this invitation, Meizu is finally entering the smart home industry and will be launching products and services within this market. Lipro is a new brand, which will focus on interconnected IoT products from homes. As per the report, Lipro is a combination of the words ‘life’ and ‘pro.’ This is to imply that the products from the company are intended to make life better.

Unfortunately, finer details regarding the brand and its products are currently unknown. Apart from the name, the company has yet to unveil various other details either. But we can expect to hear more from the company on 5th January 2020. So stay tuned for more, as we will be providing updates when additional information is available.

Looks like Xiaomi‘s smart home brand will be unveiling two new products tomorrow March 30 at 10 AM. Yesterday we reported on an upcoming MIJIA product which is likely a heart rate or blood pressure monitor and is the brand’s 73rd product. The 72nd crowdfunding product is also on its way and Xiaomi has repeatedly teased posters about the upcoming product.

It is sometimes a herculean task grabbing what Xiaomi is pointing at with the teasers and this is one of such times. However, from what we can gather from the three different posters that have so far being released about the product, the product is likely another of Xiaomi’s health and fitness product, perhaps a smart body scale. The body scale will measure vital statistics such as weight, water level (hydration), bone mass, visceral fat, basal metabolic rate, body mass index (BMI), and other parameters.

The product will likely be a smart gadget that will be able to connect to the Mi app via a smartphone. We’ll get to know more about the product tomorrow when it will launch.

Xiaomi has launched yet another crowdfunded product, this time around it is a smart fitness device. The multipurpose fitness equipment was developed by Eggplant technology and has been in development since July 2015. The product then entered trial production last month and now it is set for mass production.

The Xiaomi Smart fitness device has a design that is sort of a storage and the different equipment can be split into different fitness tools like elastic rope, abdominal wheel, push-ups, skipping rope, and other fitness equipment. Apart from the multipurpose fitness equipment, the Smart fitness gadget comes with seven different types of sensors which detect and record fitness data. The data can be monitored in real time via an app on smartphones.

In the past six years since inception, Xiaomi has grown to become one of the hottest tech companies in the world. Although the company is known for its value for money smartphones, Xiaomi also has a wide range of non-smartphone products, with a special focus in the smart home industry. It already has lots of products in this segment, from routers, thermostats, lamps, to even smart bicycles. In fact, after launching the pricey $3000 Qicycle R1 bicycle a few months back, yesterday, Xiaomi unveiled a brand new electric bicycle which costs around $455.

The company’s product profile has expanded so much that almost every 15 days we see a new announcement. While we have no idea how Xiaomi keeps up with so many of these product launches, today, Xiaomi has teased yet another smart home product. The company didn’t reveal what kind of product to expect, but it confirmed that it will announce the product on June 28, which is next Tuesday.

Along with the teaser image, the company had to say the following words: “When can silence, silence..When can shine, shine” (translated). Looks like a riddle! Well, putting this teaser image and the riddle together, could it be another smart lamp?

Xiaomi’s mi ecosystem product planning director Sun Peng added that this is a very interesting product, with the cooperation of international manufacturer.

It looks like a lamp, but it could also be just a part of a larger device. We can’t be sure of anything right now, so let’s wait for more teasers to see if we can guess the right product.
